space - disk space requirement file
space is an ASCII
file that gives information about disk space requirements for the target
environment. space defines space needed beyond what is used by objects defined
in the prototype file; for example, files which will be installed with
the installf command. space should define the maximum amount of additional
space that a package will require.
The generic format of a line in this
file is:
pathname blocks inodes
Definitions for the fields are as follows:
- pathname
- Specify a directory name which may or may not be the mount point
for a filesystem. Names that do not begin with a slash (’/’) indicate relocatable
directories.
- blocks
- Define the number of disk blocks required for installation
of the files and directory entries contained in the pathname (using a 512-byte
block size).
- inodes
- Define the number of inodes required for installation
of the files and directory entries contained in the pathname.
